The article says he was born in Anambra.

Also, if you're in child support arrears you cannot travel anyway. They won't issue you a passport. They won't even issue you a driver's license.
He is a Nigerian man! He should have a valid Nigerian passport and if he doesn’t , shame on him! Even at that, ironically there are ways and means. He should have preempted all these and planned better . Anyways, great loss to his children.

Too bad. Have made it clear to my wife that I can only take them to west for vacation but relocation ? Never
That's because you marry poor women, who depend on you all before they can eat. Women who have the capacity to sponsor themselves will not be subjected to such regulation, when she has the means to achieve it. Even you will not give her such conditions. Na those paupers you all threaten with those conditions

I am not saying you are wrong. Have you also considered that the stress of divorce may have impacted his work negatively,hence, contributed to the lost of his license?
Well, the ideal thing in this circumstance would've been to appeal the case or return to Nigeria. Why kill himself?

I feel the doctor had a mental problem which led to his wife divorcing him and the magistrate denying him access to his own children. There's something the storyteller doesn't want us to know.

It makes no sense that a magistrate that asked a man to pay $15k every month in child support doesn't want him to see the same children. I maintain that this is a single story; the storyteller is doing so to attract public sympathy.

One thing about igbo guys, they play very hard and love very hard and chase money very hard. If igbo guy loves woman she will enjoy her life. They are very passionate guys. But the downside to that is that they are a Trainwreck waiting to happen. If the babe no workout the guy out of passion fit dive out of 22 story building for suicide or shoot himself. Igbo guys try dey drink chamomile tea to calm yua high strung nerves

It's actually not about the judge; it's about the template and how the country is structured. You can't hide your income unless you are a businessman or a musician and can declare some kind of bankruptcy. There's a template to follow when there's a divorce, and there's a sharing formula that mostly favors women. It is working for them because, in most cases, men won't take care of the children just to spite the woman, and that's how you raise uneducated children and Boko Haram

But why can't he just leave USA and go to another country to start a new life. I just feel there are several options instead of suicide. I know America is a good country but there are cases you just have to run for your life.
Not justifying the suicide but, the system is designed in such a way that even if you run to Nigeria, the bills are piled up for you as debts and go into record for life!

I am Igbo and do not love hard. I only reciprocate if a woman loves me hard. I love with my brain not the heart.

I am too emotionaly mature to take my own life because of a divorce or alimony. I already started planning from day one of marriage. Always have your plan B, C etc.

RIP to the weak dude.

To see his children?

I don't know but people do it all the time. There are people who have committed crimes, left the US to countries with no extradition treaties, only to return years later for one personal reason or another.

So he is better of killing himself? You guys must think everyone in Nigeria has your experience.

I will be back in Nigeria and will not pay a dime if my wife files for any yeye divorce.

You are just ranting. Yes there is high chances that if both spouses are totally committed to one another that their union will be good. But being a good or nice or committed partner is not a guarantee that your marriage will be good.
The issue is many of our men carry the Nigerian mentality abroad which doesn't help. Be humane, reasonable, responsible, and above all be truthful.

No suppose is a devil and if one sees the sincerity of the other, the tendency of going all out on their evil intentions are reduced greatly.

I don't know why nigerian women turn to beasts when they managed to travel abroad is this how women from other african countries behaves when their husbands takes them abroad?

Turn to beast because of a divorce?

People divorce abroad everyday and I have instances of Nigerian women screwed by their Nigerian husband in a divorce.

That means you don’t trust your wife to be of ‘ good’ character
Or you fear she would use the western environment to pay you back

I don’t think one woman will wake up in the morning and decide ‘ yes, now let me show him pepper’ with no just reason.

Re: US-based Nigerian Doctor Kills Self Over $15,000 Child Support by passion007: 10:13am On Feb 02, 2025
Everyone is screaming $15k is too much. Keep in mind that the guy most likely earns more than $30k per month, because the court cannot ask you to pay more than half of your income as child support. It was his decision to take his own life rather than give half of his income to his children, but that decision was certainly not due to financial inability because he was well able to afford that.

Also it doesn't matter if you are not married. You will still pay child support.
Re: US-based Nigerian Doctor Kills Self Over $15,000 Child Support by easytig(m): 10:13am On Feb 02, 2025
It's the Nigerian mindset of greed and gluttony inherent in most males and females,they want it all in the shortest possible time, that is why the country and the economy is like this.

The passion has always been a scam from day one and, the man did not catch it on time. Now, he had to pay with his life.

Stop marrying these wayward gals that have been totally traumatised during their run gal days. Avoid them. They have damaged themselves beyond repair and are nothing but walking disasters. The ex is somewhere having fun. Jezebel has moved on and will never feel any pain over this. Men! Save yourselves!!!

Look for cultures that are still traditional and marry from there. Whether in Africa or Asia oo. Marry her and treat her nice. But you see most of these "money for hand back for ground" girls you guys pick off the streets once you visit home, they are wild hyenas. You can't domestic a wild hyena.. Loyalty is not the strongest point..

This man died a fool. He gave up on life too cowardly. This is nothing like "a worst-case scenario". Nothing you can come out of. He is even educated and a doctor.
You are a Nigerian right? America took your license right? Fvck that! Come back to Nigeria and start again. At 35 many people are still dilly-dallying on what to do with their lives but you have yours sorted out already.

I am very glad my divorce case was in Nigeria. No carry woman go obodo oyibo especially America una no dey hear.
He went to high school and University in America. He was prolly born there. I checked him up on LinkedIn..

Nigerians who were born there or even relocated as little kids to the USA hardly return to Nigeria, as they hardly have any friends or social ties in Nigeria. Infact they can only be forced to come home once in a while by their parents (if they are still alive).

Only those who had college (Tertiary) education in Nigeria before relocating to the US, would likely return to Nigeria every year or at least Bi-annually.

It Shows He is still very Primitive in his Mind. For you to loose your license, he must have committed Violence on his wife.

Some Nigerian Men still act like kids to be Honest. You can't eat your cake and Have it at the same time. Kids belong to Women in Western World.

The Law always protect the Vulnerable.
